        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://mmcxchange.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/uploads/cover_photo/1777055428_020125_TO_0046-scaled.jpg" alt="Orioles Bring the Game to the Community with 2026 Birdland Caravan" /></p><p>The Baltimore Orioles are once again taking their love for the city and the region on the road with the return of the <strong>Birdland Caravan</strong>, a weekend-long winter tour designed to connect players, fans, and communities ahead of the 2026 season.</p>



<p>Running <strong>January 22–24</strong>, the Birdland Caravan brings Orioles baseball directly to neighborhoods across Maryland through a mix of family-friendly events, community visits, and fan experiences that celebrate both the team and the people who support it year-round.</p>



<p>This year’s Caravan will feature appearances from a strong lineup of current Orioles players, including <strong>Adley Rutschman, Gunnar Henderson, Jackson Holliday, Jordan Westburg, Tyler Wells</strong>, and others, along with <strong>Orioles Manager Craig Albernaz</strong>. Orioles alumni, the Oriole Bird, and Mr. Splash will also join select stops, giving fans of all ages a chance to engage with familiar faces from Birdland.</p>



<p>Designed as more than just a fan tour, the Caravan emphasizes community connection. Stops will take place throughout <strong>Baltimore City and surrounding counties</strong>, including Baltimore, Ellicott City, Linthicum Heights, Sykesville, White Marsh, and Prince George’s County, as well as Bel Air and Frederick. Events range from Q&amp;A sessions and pop-up photo opportunities to bowling, family bingo, breakfast gatherings, and mall festivals.</p>



<p>The weekend kicks off in Baltimore City with a <strong>“Meet the New O’s”</strong> event at the historic <strong>Senator Theatre</strong>, where fans can hear directly from Albernaz and newly added star <strong>Pete Alonso</strong> as they receive their first big welcome from Orioles fans.</p>



<p>On Friday, the Caravan’s impact moves beyond entertainment. Orioles players will make surprise visits to <strong>Baltimore City schools</strong>, turning an ordinary school day into a memorable experience for students. That evening, fans can connect with the team at community-centered venues, including GameOn in Federal Hill and the Guinness Open Gate Brewery, blending fun, conversation, and local flavor.</p>



<p>Saturday’s programming highlights the Orioles’ commitment to families and service. <strong>Kids Day</strong>, presented by the Maryland College Investment Plan, includes youth-focused events such as breakfast with players, duckpin bowling, family bingo, and hospital visits with young patients at <strong>MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center</strong>. The Caravan will also honor first responders by visiting the <strong>Burtonsville Fire Department</strong> and supporting the family of Lt. Christopher Higgins through a partnership with the <strong>First Responders Children’s Foundation</strong>.</p>



<p>The weekend concludes with mall festivals at <strong>White Marsh Mall</strong> and <strong>Westfield Montgomery Mall</strong>, featuring stage shows, interactive games, and kid-friendly activities designed to build excitement for the upcoming season.</p>



<p>All proceeds from ticketed events will benefit the <strong>Orioles Charitable Foundation</strong>, supporting programs and initiatives that uplift communities across the region. Tickets for select events are required and must be purchased in advance.</p>



<p>For Baltimore fans—especially families, students, and longtime supporters—the Birdland Caravan represents more than baseball. It’s a reminder that the Orioles remain deeply rooted in the community, committed to showing up, giving back, and sharing moments of joy beyond the ballpark.</p>
